The Second use which Dr. Davy supposes this fluid to answ er , is that it is capable of separatin g , a p or ti on of.earhon from the blood, 'and thus assisting the func tions of the lungs.

In the Philosophical Transactions for the present year, is inserted an elaborate memoir, by Captain Dater, F.R.S., one of the Commissioners, detailing the whole operations for constructing and determining the standards. The following extracts may be interest ing, as pointing out the principle of the determinations, and their utility. " The weights and measures of the United Kingdom of, Great Britian and Ireland are founded upon a standard, the length of which is determined by the proportion it. bears to that of the pendulum vibrating seconds of mean time in London. The length of this pendulum 1 have stated to be 39-18,929 inches of Sir G. Shuckburgh Evelyn's standard scale : and the experiments, from which this conclusion is deduced, aredetailed M the Philosophical Transactions for 1818,. " The Philosophical Transactions for 1819 contain an ac count of experiments for determining the variation in length of the second► pendulous at the principal stations of the Trigonome trical survey of Great Britain. For this purpose I constructed an invariable pendulum, the number of vibrations made by which being observed in London, and also at the principal stations of the Trigonometrical Survey, the length of the seconds pendulum at such stations could readily be deduced from the previously known length of the pendulum vibrating seconds in London. "The flecueil &Observations Geodesiques,' &c. affords one an opportunity of comparing these last results With those of M. Hiot, whose very valuable labours for determining the length of the pendulum vibrating seconds at various stations from Unit to Formentara, are there detailed. " From the near agreement of the French and English experi ments on the length of the pendulum, it may be inferred, that the length of the French metre, expressed in parts of Sir George Shucklmrgli Evelyn's Scale, is probably not erroneous one ten thousandth of an inch. " In the Philosophical Transactions for 1821, will be found An account of the comparison of various British standards of 'linear measure;' and it will there be seen that the difference be tween Sir George Shuckburgh'a standard scale, and a standard yard of 1760 made by Bird, and in the custody of the clerk of the House of Commons, is so very small that they may be con sidered as ' perfectly identical.' This yard, under the deno mination of ' the Imperial Standard Yard,' has been declared by Parliament, on the recommendation of the Commissioner, of . Weights and Measures, to he the unit or only standard measure of extension' of the United Kingdom ; consequently the length of the pendulum before given is _expressed in parts of the Impe rial Standard Yard. " The measures of capacity being dependent upon the weight of a cubic inch of distilled water, it became necessary to consider the degree of reliance which might be placed upon the accuracy of the experiments made by Sir George Shuckburgh on this subject. " A cube, a cylinder, and sphere of brass were used in these experiments; and in consequence of some difficulties which , oc curred, the weight of these, both in air and in distilled water, was so repeatedly ascertained by Sir George Shuckburgh as to leave no reasonable doubt of the accuracy of his conclusions. But as the linear dimensions of " - the cube, sphere, and cylinder, might not have been determined with equal precision, it was thought ad visable to repeat these measurements. This Was accordingly done ; and though in detail they diff e red somewhat from Sir George Shutlchurgh's determinations, yet fortunately, the variations were 'such as nearly to counterbalance each other, and to occasion little difference in the ultimate result, as may be seen in an account of these last mentioned measurements given in the Philosophical Transactions for 1821. " Sir George Shuckburgh's results having been expressed in she wean Of several ahuulardfityZrA4llLiiii one and of two pounds , kept at th e • . • • tglioutratne that Commissioners of Weights and Aleantsanugh l i• l •t Cd in t mean, should t,hettregra re ' unit of • weight; and therefore recommended that the Parliamentary Standard Troy Pound of 1758 should renfain unaltered; and this his been accordingly declared by the Legisla ture to he the original unit or only standard measure of weight, from which all other weights shall be derived ;' and that it is to be denominated the Imperial Standard Troy Pound.' " After giving an elaborate detail of the operations, occupying nearly forty pages 4t0., Captain Kater thus concludes : " I cannot conclude without bearing testimony to the unwearied perseverance, ability, and accuracy, which Mr. Bate has shown in the course of a work attended with no common difficulties, and to the perfect execution of which he has devoted for a long period, the whole of his time and attention. " From what has been said, it will be seen, that the length of the pendulum vibrating seconds, in London, has been found in parts of the imperial standard yard ; consequently the value of the yard may at any time be known, having been relined to a natural standard presumed to be unalterable. The length of the French metre, a standard' expressing a certain portion of a terrestrial itie ridian, has also been given in parts of the English scale. The weight of a Cubic inch of distilled water has been determined in parts of the imperial troy pound, and thus the pound, if lost, may at any future age be recovered. The avoirdupois pound is now for the first time defined, and the measures of capacity ars made to depend upon the weight of water they contain ; the imperial gallon, containing ten pounds avoirdupois of water having been deklared to,be the unit or only standard measure of capacity, from whiCh all others are to be derived. This it is to be presumed, cannot but powerfully tend to produce uniformity throughout the United Kingdom, by putting it in the power of every individual possessed of standard weights, to verify his measures of capacity with the utmost facility."

We understand there is every prospect that the Marshes which divide Plymouth from Stonehouse will be let or sold, for building forthwith 'as Mr. Squire, the solicitor, Whit several years Since purchased the land of these marshes of the Corptiration, hay bought the lease of them of Mr; John Langmead. This most de s ir a bl e spot is nearly twenty-six acres in extent, and is divided by the New Union Road, along the borders of which, on the side near Plyrnotith, many new dwelling .houses have recently' been erected, which are nearly all occupied by respectable families.

LANCASTER, Mon,Ay, August £l, , Public curiosity, which was highly excited' in this town and neighbourhood, by the expected trial of this individual to-day, has been painfully disappointed by'his unexpected Hight and disappearance. At a late hour last night per- sons in the confidence of his family intimated, with very significant gestures, that his trial would certainly not take place at these Assizes; but the intimation wag considered as nothing more than part of the impudent swagger with which their friends have conducted themselves here, and was not judged worthy of the slightest credit. Thouet nobody conceived that W. Wakefield would abscond from► justice, the annunciation that he has done so has not created much surprise. Trickery seems expected front the family; and I have heard at least a dozen persons ask, " What is to be the next trick they are to play before a wondering public ?" His friends say that he has put off his trial for the present, in order that he may not disclose his brother's defence ; but how his defence can injure that of his brother, if his brother have any valid defence, is a point which many people declare that they are incapable of perceiving. Noti`vitlistenilliig the rumours of William Wakefield's tlight,which hadgot abroad during the night, the Court Was tilled to excess at: an early hour this morning. Crowds of ladies . succeeded in gainincentranee,,but many more were refused admittance. They ranged themselves on the bench and in the galleries; and a. party of fair Quakeresses even took their seats in the prisoners' dark. The attend amts. of Counsel was unusually full, and many Magistrates, unable to reach the seats generally reserved for them, were- seen standing in the crowd. By the kindness of Mr. Higgins, the governor of the gaol, whose civility on all occasions we are glad to acknowledge, a portion of the Court was set aside for the reporters to the different news papers; and they were admitted to it without any diffi culty, after the first rush of strangers had subsided. A common jury was then empannelled. At half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Justice PARK took his seat upon the bench, and shortly afterwards desired that Mr. Attorney-General, and the Counsel engaged in the prosecution of William Wakefield, should be informed that he was in Court. A short pause ensued, during which a great sensation was excited in the box assigned to waiting Jurymen, by a proclamation made by one of the officers, that jurymen were wanted in the other court. Each juryman looked wistfully at his brother, but none of them appeared in clined to stir. Mr. Justice PARK observing their hesita tion, told them that they must go; it was very important to themselves that they should go quickly; for if they did, the Court would in all probability complete its business to-day, and they would be enabled to return to their farni. lies to-morrow. The thoughts of home, in general so powerfully attractive to jurymen, hid lost their charm on the present occasion, for not a juryman stirred in conse quence of the Learned Judge's adMOnition. He was obliged to repeat it a second time ; and then, but not till then, did a few stragglers leave the box, casting " tinny a longing, lingering look," on those whom they left be hind them. Mr. Justice PARK'S attention being diverted br their retiring from the reluctant jurors, Was directed with re doubled energy towards the Counsel. He again ad dressed one of the officers of the Court, and said ra ther warmly, " D 6 go, Sir, and tell the Counsel in the adjoining room, that I am staying for them here • Mr. BROUGHAM shortly afterwards came into Court; b u t 4 ralla p i o r it i i >aja p ig i ggu r v it er '4l,4r t ininp ntvo: ea II pearanee at The l ear ned Junag then &shed where, the defendant W. Wakefield was. Being informed that he wits not present. lie desired the Crier to call hint upon his recognizance,. Prochttnation was then made three times for W. Wake field to come forth, save himself and his bail, or forfeit his recognizance,. In consequence of W. Wakefield's not appearing on these repeated summonses, his recognizance: were ordered to be entreated. ProdsMation was then made in similar manner that Da vid Davies, of Macclesfield, in the county of Cheater, Doc. for in Divinity, should come forth and bring forward the body of William Wakefield, whom he had undertaken to have that day in Court, or that he should forfeit his re. cogpi ziuices. •As the Rev. Doctor could not comply with the condi tion of his recognizances, they, too, were ordered to be entreated. So, too, after similar proclamation, we re th ose of John Cuthbert , of Stonehouse, near Broadstairs, in the parish of St. Peter's, in the Isle of Thanet, in the county of Kent. Mr. Justice PARK asked whether there was any reason to suppose that: the defendant intended to appear in Court, or whether he was only prevented from attending by the crowded state of the avenues leading to the Court ? Mr. DENISON, of Manchester, the attorney for the Wakefields, replied, that. W. Wakefield was not in . Court, nor likely to be so. Mr. Justice PARK—Oh! Mr. Denison, I did not see you. Have you any reason to suppose that the defendant will be here Mr. DiNtsoN , --My Lord, the defendant certainly will not appear. Mi. - BROUGHAM-My Lord, 1 have to move that not only. William Wakefield's recognizanees, hut also those'of Dr, Davies and of Mr. Cuthbert be entreated. Mr. Justice PARK—I have given orders to that effect. The recognizances of William Wakefield, and oleo of his recognitors, ire declared forfeited. Mr. BROUGHAM-1 have then to move your Lordship, as the defendant William Wakefield has absconded,. to issue against him a Bench warrant. Mr. Justice PAILK—I'II issue my warrant against hint immediately, but you are aware, Mr. Brougham, that my warrant will net extend beyond this county. You must apply to sjudge of the Court of King's Bench, if you wish for a warrant that will extend all over the kingdom. Have you prepared the warrant ? Was it bespoken ? A short consultation here took place between Mr. Jus tice Park and Mr. Hopkins, the clerk of the Arraigns; after it ws3 finished, Mr t hatice Pauli turned round to Mr. Brougham, and spin addressed him. Brougham, -a point " I wish you would consider, Mr. o_n_which . I have some doubt. It is bb not tetrto a ar b eb o om u u t ot i ii h c re n ,f g oorn m r iy ino w ft a t ir , an n t a , n t i o ei r y o , n that I have no doubt, h to is th l‘ e lB p i r e o s s t e: B ut j o u r l : cts o -"mull' °E before °al" ont of case that circumstance d o ese that be he brought I the powe r to sa;that i he the r am. The question is, have sent circumstances a bailable warrant, and he is entitled to bail under it. TI MY ”rrant, ou klit)W, is Illicit' the pre. Though he has forfeited his bail in the present prevent him fromgiving bail again, and from forfeiting it agam*if lie an pleases. ' 1 bsve some doubt, whether I ought to let the warrant run in this usual form, or to put in some clause respeetingthe notice of bail. The latter eantree would be a limitation of the A n a ot i give 4m hours- notice of bail power o f the Magistrate : and to limit his jurisdiction wouhi, lam afraid; be - to infringe it. • I have been asking Mr. H o pki n s, -whither he recollects any instance of a Judge's-warrant being issued in this county under circum stances sit - all similar to the present. One of my clerks, who, before he was with me, was clerk to a jud ge of the Court of King's Bench, says that be has Prepared 'war rauti, wherein nothing was said about notice of bail. But there the warrant was issued by a Judge of the, Court of king's, Bend', mid that makes all the difference between the et fiP two cases." Mr. s was understood to say, that ha recollected a ose from Liverpool, where, under sunder eircumstanc'eb •
